Losing the language my parents spoke
I knew a little of it when I was young
I grew up on some block in Bayside, Queens
They grew up in Manila, Philippines
Now where we are is my home
Only a couple people share my skin tone
Calling me names, they don′t know where I’m from
What can I say to them except that
I want to love you
The way you love me
And you feel nothing at all
If I were to disappear
I wouldn′t choose any place
But here
Messages vocal or silent
The mirror will whisper my differences
Rearranging my mind,
I don’t know where I’m from
Nothing to tell myself except that
I want to love you
The way you should love me
But you feel nothing at all
If I were to disappear
I wouldn′t choose any place
But here
There′s no place like home
